Herb Goodrich ~ October 10th

HERB is a familiar face in San Francisco's music circles where he has conducted choruses, bands, and orchestras since 1989. He is a published composer and holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Colorado and a Master of Music degree from the University of Illinois.

He has staged events and produced multimedia compact discs for such well-known Silicon Valley companies as Apple, Hewlett Packard, Agilent, and Palm. After producing over one hundred multimedia and music CDs, he is considered an expert in the project management field.

Truly a Renaissance man, besides his technical activities, Herb is a composer and lyricist, stage director, playwright, editor, and script doctor. He enjoys an enviable career as an artist who has combined his love of the arts with the needs of the marketplace. "Christmas Eve in San Francisco" is an excellent example of his skills in collaboration with drummer extraordinaire, Leo Vigil. The Christmas album also features Carlos Reyes, Jamie Davis, Larry Dunlap, Baba Elefante, John Heussenstamm, Ron Kobayashi, and Terry Miller.

I have sung with Herb for many years with the Aviary Chorus and recently with the SOTS (Sons of the Sea). He is an amazing talent and personal inspiration!
